+20071020
+       + continue implementing support for threading demo by adding mutex
+         for use_window().
+       + add mrxvt terminfo entry, add/fix xterm building blocks for modified
+         cursor keys -TD
+       + compile with FreeBSD "contemporary" TTY interface (patch by
+         Rong-En Fan).
+
+20071013
+       + modify makefile rules to allow clear, tput and tset to be built
+         without libtic.  The other programs (infocmp, tic and toe) rely on
+         that library.
+       + add/modify null-pointer checks in several functions for SP and/or
+         the WINDOW* parameter (report by Thorben Krueger).
+       + fixes for field_buffer() in formw library (see Redhat Bugzilla
+         #310071, patches by Miroslav Lichvar).
+       + improve performance of NCURSES_CHAR_EQ code (patch by Miroslav
+         Lichvar).
+       + update/improve mlterm and rxvt terminfo entries, e.g., for
+         the modified cursor- and keypad-keys -TD
+
+20071006
+       + add code to curses.priv.h ifdef'd with NCURSES_CHAR_EQ, which
+         changes the CharEq() macro to an inline function to allow comparing
+         cchar_t struct's without comparing gaps in a possibly unpacked
+         memory layout (report by Miroslav Lichvar).
+
+20070929
+       + add new functions to lib_trace.c to setup mutex's for the _tracef()
+         calls within the ncurses library.
+       + for the reentrant model, move _nc_tputs_trace and _nc_outchars into
+         the SCREEN. 
+       + start modifying test/worm.c to provide threading demo (incomplete).
+       + separated ifdef's for some BSD-related symbols in tset.c, to make
+         it compile on LynxOS (report by Greg Gemmer).
+20070915
+       + modify Ada95/gen/Makefile to use shlib script, to simplify building
+         shared-library configuration on platforms lacking rpath support.
+       + build-fix for Ada95/src/Makefile to reflect changed dependency for
+         the terminal-interface-curses-aux.adb file which is now generated.
+       + restructuring test/worm.c, for use_window() example.
+

 20070908
        + add use_window() and use_screen() functions, to develop into support
          for threaded library (incomplete).
